Call For Papers
Dear Colleagues:
Papers are solicited for the 39th annual meeting of the North American Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 39), which will be held at the University of Texas at Austin, Saturday, February 12th, 2011 and Sunday, February 13th, 2011.
Our keynote speaker for NACAL 39 will be Grover Hudson, Professor emeritus of the Department of Linguistics and Germanic, Slavic, Asian, and African Languages, at Michigan State University.
Papers are sought on linguistic topics relevant to the languages of the Afroasiatic phylum (Chadic, Berber, Cushitic, Omotic, Egyptian, Semitic). Topics relating to all aspects of Afroasiatic languages will be considered, particularly including phonology, morphology, syntax, comparative linguistics, sociolinguistics, and epigraphy. These topics should be considered as general guidelines and are not intended to be exclusive. No original paper will be rejected on account of its subject, as long as it relates to the languages of the Afroasiatic phylum and meets the scholarly standards established by previous conferences.
Abstracts describing the precise topic treated with a length of approximately 200-300 words can be sent as an electronic version (pdf and MS Word document) to the addresses specified on the registration page on the website (www.nacal.org). The deadline for submission is November 15, 2010. For more information, please visit our website at www.nacal.org.
Accommodations for NACAL 39 will be available at
AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center 1900 University Avenue, Austin, Texas 78705 877-744-8822 http://meetattexas.com/
